The production status is Active, with a release date of February 28, 2026.

The Intel Core 9 273PE carries the Bartlett Lake codename and belongs to the Core 9 generation. It uses a 10 nm process fabricated by Intel. The die size is not recorded. The integrated graphics are UHD Graphics 730. Memory support includes both DDR4 and DDR5, also over a dual-channel bus with the same 89.6 GB/s bandwidth. ECC memory is supported. The socket is Intel Socket 1700, and the market segment is Desktop. The release date is March 8, 2026, and the part number is SA4QD.

The two designs differ in core organization. The AMD part uses a hybrid arrangement of Zen 5 and Zen 5c cores, with 10 cores and 20 threads total. The Intel part uses 12 cores and 24 threads, with a larger per-core L2 cache of 2 MB compared to 1 MB for the AMD chip. The L1 cache is identical at 80 KB per core. The L3 cache favors Intel significantly: 36 MB shared versus 16 MB on the AMD processor.

Process node and foundry divergence is notable. The AMD chip uses a 4 nm process from TSMC, while Intel uses its own 10 nm process. This difference typically affects power efficiency and thermal characteristics. The TDP values reflect that: the AMD part is rated at 28 watts, while the Intel part is rated at 65 watts. The socket types are incompatible, so platform choice is constrained by motherboard selection.

PCIe support differs by generation. The AMD processor provides PCIe Gen 4 with 16 lanes (CPU only). The Intel processor provides PCIe Gen 5 with the same 16 lanes (CPU only). This affects available bandwidth for discrete GPUs or storage devices. Memory flexibility also differs: AMD supports DDR5 and LPDDR5X, while Intel supports DDR4 and DDR5. Both support ECC.

The Verdict

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has an average benchmark score of 0 and no nearest rivals listed. The percentile of 50 indicates it sits at the median of all CPUs in the database, but without benchmark data, the practical performance cannot be quantified from these records.

Where Each One Wins

The Intel Core 9 273PE wins in every recorded benchmark category, based on the available data. It shows strength in multi-threaded workloads, as demonstrated by the Cinebench R23 multicore score of 31288 and the Passmark multithread score of 36810. The single-thread performance is also strong, with a Cinebench R23 single-core score of 4417 and a Passmark single-thread score of 3650. This combination suits applications that benefit from both high core counts and high per-core speeds, such as rendering, compilation, and simulation tasks.

The Passmark integer math score of 139410 and floating-point math score of 107884 indicate capability in general-purpose computing, scientific calculations, and financial modeling. The data compression score of 405885 suggests efficient handling of archival and storage workloads. The random string sorting score of 45098 points to solid performance in text processing and database operations. The physics score of 3120 aligns with simulation and physical modeling tasks.

The AMD Ryzen AI Embedded P174 has no recorded wins in this dataset. Its potential advantages are contextual rather than benchmark-driven. The 28-watt TDP and 4 nm process suggest suitability for power-sensitive embedded environments, where thermal limits and energy consumption are primary constraints. The support for LPDDR5X memory indicates a design for mobile or compact systems. The Radeon 880M integrated graphics may offer different capabilities than the Intel UHD Graphics 730, but no comparative graphics data is available.

The Intel part's nearest rivals show that the performance edge is narrow. The AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 388 is 0.1% faster, and the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX PRO 370 is 1.2% faster. The Intel Core i9-13980HX is 1.1% faster, while the Intel Core i5-14600KF is 0.9% slower. The Intel Core 9 273PE sits within a 1.2% band of these competitors, indicating that the choice among these processors would depend on platform, power, and price considerations rather than large performance gaps.

For users prioritizing raw compute performance, the Intel Core 9 273PE is the only processor with measured data supporting it. The AMD processor's lack of benchmark scores means no performance claims can be made from the database. The selection between these two parts, from the recorded information, comes down to the Intel part for performance and the AMD part for lower power consumption and a smaller process node.
